And now, an update to Dragonian


First off, thank you all for your support for this game.
Now, this update, labeled DragonianA.zip (because there was a DragonianB.zip for older models, but I can’t release it) is designed to hopefully perform better on post-XP computers as it doesn’t force Software Vertex Processing or something like that. This could mean the fan on your computer won’t act up as much. Also, just be aware I rebalanced the item distribution. So, if you don’t want to earn too many hearts or too many bombs/shurikens, this is for you.
Oh, and the cloning glitch is taken care of, probably.

Anyway, my plans for making a sequel to Dragonian are being constantly thwarted by reality. That is, my computer is acting up, and I’ve got some other real-life commitments. I have a script and some lead characters made, though. So… if anyone’s willing to help me make a sequel, state it now. CG modelers are greatly appreciated, especially those that understand the principles of animation and don’t animate everything like Baymax.
…and people who know Unity. That would help immensely.

On the other end, Indie Game Battle is going well. Rick’s not in it yet, but his stage is. Take a look at it. The link’s in the previous news update. (Don’t delete me, please.)

Anyway, thank you all for your support. I put a lot of work into this game, and it’ll take a lot more work if I could get a sequel actually started.

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

Due to top-down levels working a little differently, it took me a bit to get motivated to program and animate Pinafore in five directions. (Three of these directions are mirrored for a total of eight.)

Unfortunately, that's the easy part.

Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.

I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.

...let me be honest, the convention level isn't working well as a platformer.

So, I think I should add top-down sections. The combat would work about the same. I think you shouldn't jump in top-down mode, so sliding will take its place there.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.
